The Wombat


Headed to Falls Creek Saturday for the warm up race for the Hoppet. Covered 20 1200km's in the car in 24 hrs, a lot of driving. The reaso being that we are expecting a baby and today we have a doctors appointment so I had to come back for that and then take the boss back up to Bright. Anyway weather was windy and grey with soft rain damaged snow. The race course was changed 3 times so we could still get in the 15km race. Me, it was struggle town, the first lap I was seriously wondering what the fuck I was doing out there. I just buried my head and got on with it cause there ain't no point in whining about it! In the end I got it done in around 55 mins and should get some points towards the Australian Ski Chase.
Snow is thinning out and I am wondering if its going to hold for the Hoppet next Saturday. Blizzard starting tonight fingers crossed for some love from the snow gods..... but I have taken the 29er for a bit of a look around Bright.... sweet trails I am told, just have to find em!
Happy trails
